Iam "Man... Looking back, a lot of our older
stuff was spewing a lot of vitriol."
Hym "You say that like it's a bad thing!"
Iam "Isn't it? I kind of feel bad..."
Hym "I
don't.
People love that shit! They just like to be the ones who decide who it'
s directed at. Go disagree with a '
feminist' and watch her spray you down. Nothing is off limits. Your immutable qualities, your sexuality, anything she can come up with. Disagree with a 'man' and what do you get? You get threatened and berated. You get called a pedophile, a bitch, and you even get racial slurs thrown at you. It'
s happened to us hundreds of times. And for what? Saying that you
don't need to where a mask. I'm a pedophile because masks
don't do anything to
stop the spread of viruses? Really? Men are trash and because I am a man I, therefore, am trash?"
Iam "But why add to it? Doesn't that make everything worse?"
Hym "Because we're better at it. They only adopt the vitriol when it'
s convenient. We were born from the vitriol. Molded by it..."
Iam "Wha... Bane?"
Hym "I'm part of the DC canon now. I get to use all their shit without paying for it (because apparently that'
s how the world works)."
